Type-specialist teams for the Blur/Blight guys!
Hilbert (Fire);
Emboar + Armarouge are shiny for blue flames, since blue is his main color!
His Mega Evolving mon in canon is Absol (Houndoom belongs to Grimsley), but it also fits Hilbert since he's associated with dogs! Also, Talonflame because Hilbert needs to have a flying type (like Braviary) always with him; his "wings" before he earns Reshiram's respect. Volcarona mainly because of its royal imagery- and he has one as Hero of Truth, Ludwig.
Cheren (Fairy);
Was debating with either water or fairy, but I think fairy ultimately fits since he has incarnations (like Vessel) who are scared of water.
Anyway, mostly motifs. Sylveon for rabbit/ribbon/mediator, Primarina because its a water-type that sings, Togekiss because its an angel (Togetic looks more like Slater though), Audino because its a healer + his assigned Mega Evo that fits this typing (canonically its Lopunny) + its shiny colors are Vessel's colors, Scream Tail for the vampire motif + Jigglypuff (who it may be related to) is associated with singing and sleep, and Magearna for doll and heart motif.
Bianca (Grass);
Was debating between grass and psychic- but Nikolai is more psychic than steel, and Bianca's more grounded, in a way- and she's more in touch with the earth and nature, so she gets grass!
Lurantis for flower motif + shiny because its her colors! Gourgeist also has a singing motif like her, as well as being from Kalos. Arboliva looks out for other Pokemon by sharing what it has, Abomasnow is her assigned Mega (its Audino in canon), Cradily because she's a scholar + aspiring historian + has connections with Lenora, so she's definitely unearthed a couple of fossils in her spare time!
Though she isn't a time traveler, she gets Celebi because, out of all the party, she is the one that makes the most impact throughout history, even when she herself is unknown (like a mythical Pokemon).
Hilda (Fighting);
Falinks because it works in a group (Hilda's Lonely nature; she prefers working with her friends, even if she can work alone), Infernape because she needs a fire/fighting (alluding to her Simisear), Medicham is her assigned Mega in canon, Bewear because she does like cute Pokemon + its a mascot; kind of like how she's one for Gear Station and Nimbasa City as a whole, Pangoro because it matches her temperament and sense of justice, and Iron Valiant to allude her status as The Warrior of Truth, who ruled over the kingdom of Unova once the heroes abandoned the throne + alluding to her connection with Nikolai.
Also, Infernape and Iron Valiant are shiny to match her palette better; the latter specifically highlights the pinks!
Nate (Electric);
Nate's canon Mega is Ampharos, but its Manectric here to connect with his Hoenn roots + his mom has a Manectric! Vikavolt because he needs a bug-type (second favorite type), Toxtricity because of his """association with music""" (he yells and screams and makes loud noises), Lanturn because of its star motif (referred to as a deep sea star; with Cheren's water and drowning motif, Nate is his star/light that guides him out <3), Togedemaru for its unsuspecting appearance (and also spiky like his hair; hence why its brown), and of course. Zekrom, his assigned legendary as The Hero of Ideals.
I initially wanted to give him a Pachirisu for "underdog" purposes (he is squirrelcore to me; and also because of the Pachirisu during the World Championships), but he already has a pure electric!
Hugh (Dark);
He gets a dark typing due to his association with the Purrloin line + he becomes Giima's successor in Blur/Blight! A lot of his Pokemon are fairly easy to explain;
Liepard is self-explanatory (shiny because its his palette), and by extension, Chien-Pao is there because its a cat- and speaking of Chien Pao (swords), it matches well with Hisuian Samurott, who also has a sword motif- alluding to him being the Warrior of Ideals, despite his relic being a shield. Additionally, Oshawott is his starter!
Tyranitar is his assigned Mega in canon due to him specializing in sandstorms. Finally, Morpeko, like with Hilda's Pangoro, is because of his temperament- and also because its associated with the little sister of a dark type specialist. I think he and Piers would get along well.
Also Overqwil. You Know.
Rosa (Flying);
Rosa's Swanna is her starter + main Pokemon in Blur/Blight, and shows up more than everyone else's Pokemon because its always attached to her back! Noivern, like Nate's Toxtricity, is meant to allude to her loud nature (and also, their names being resonance/resonate; which fits well for a bat Pokemon).
Jumpluff because of her carefree spirit as both herself and The Scholar of Ideals (pink to refer to her original palette; but also she wears a bit of pink on her), Bombirdier because of her.. mischief, Landorus being her assigned legendary, and Pinsir being her assigned Mega because of its ability, Aerilate- which give her an advantage as a flying-type specialist.
N (Normal);
His are a little hard to explain, but! N doesn't have a canon Mega; Lopunny is Cheren's, but for the sake of this teambuilding, he gets Mega Lopunny; which fits since its a forest animal = N was found in a forest by Ghetsis. Initially, it was Mega Kangaskhan, but he already has a pure normal in the form of Terapagos- a Pokemon that can bring people of different timelines together, something that alludes to his role as The Priest, the one who sees the past and future.
Sawsbuck and Zoroark are his assigned Pokemon in Blur/Blight constantly, especially Sawsbuck! Pyroar for the "king" motif, and female Indeedee because its more focused on defense and support.
Nikolai (Psychic);
Already explained some of these but; Beheeyem is his ace/partner, Orbeetle because of the mad scientist motif + he likes bugs, Hatterene and Delphox for witch motifs + Hatterene matches his stoic personality and how he easily gets overwhelmed by the emotions of others, and Gardevoir (not Gallade this time) is his Mega- its the village sentry.
Taking his Metagross' place is Jirachi- a Pokemon that grants wishes, something he desperately needs; someone to answer his prayers.

Ok......
But how about
Squirrelcore
- cozy, fuzzy, and oversized outfits
- neutral earth tone colour palette (oranges, browns, greys and off whites)
- lots of wood paneling and wood decorations
- little cozy blanket filled nooks
- lots of little house plants
- little collections of random things from nature
- long and rambling walks in the woods (especially in the fall)
- acting jittery and chaotic (lots of coffee can help with this lol)
